Blackberry Smoke Concert At The Shed (Maryville)

This was our third year to stay in Townsend to attend the Blakckberry Smoke Concert. By far the Kallithea, has been the best place compared to the other 2 places we have stayed at in previous years. The place was immaculate! If I could give 10 stars I would!! Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. Beds were very comfortable, downstairs shower was super nice! We enjoyed sitting out on both decks, playing pool, and playing cards! I would recommend the Kallithia....you will not be disappointed! Only downfall is the driveway....not much room to park. Fortunately we were in a midsize car so it was all good! I could see if someone has a huge pick up truck it may get a little tricky. Other than that, it is an amazing place to stay. We plan to stay at the Kallithia again next May.

Well equipped and great floor plan

We stayed here for two nights in January to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday. Very well equipped cabin with quality cookware and even extras like aluminum foil and spices. Very nice for a group who cooked breakfast and dinner in cabin. Linens and towels were nice quality and the beds were comfortable. Fireplace made it cozy. Easy check out instructions.

Our stay at the cabin

We only had one major concern, and that was the door locking system. It had a keycode pad on the outside, which was fine, but on the inside the only lock was attached to the keypad. There should have been a separate deadbolt lock/locking mechanism that was on the inside of the door. But there was not.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The cabin was just outside of Townsend. We were close to the Little River, and Cade’s Cove, and the rest of the national park. Gatlinburg, Wears Valley, and Pigeon Forge are all under an hour away. The cabin was beautiful and quiet. The beds were comfy and everything was very clean. We had everything we needed and had the best time.

Great location!

This cabin is in a great location and within a short driving distance to so many sites. It made for a nice central location that we could head to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Cherokee, or stay even closer and enjoy the quiet side of the Smoky Mountains right at Townsend and visit Cades Cove and Tuckaleechee Caverns. It was a great find and helped to make wonderful memories of our vacation!

Kallithea cabin

This cabin absolutely made the trip more enjoyable. Many things to do locally and was only 45 minutes away from Dollywood as opposed to the 5 hour drive we would have to make. Our family first vacation and we definitely plan to come back!
